Hello Guix,
today I tried the guix system image type efi-raw to see if I could use
it instead of an iso, and I am actually getting an error from the build
stating that a device for '.' cannot be found, from grub-bios-setup.
Is this because of a config incompatible with this service, or is it
just broken?
Attaching the log and the config. The error happens with the disk-image
derivation. I am building for x86_64-linux.
The command is: guix system image -t efi-raw ./simple.scm.
Regards,
Rutherther
